Feedback Trends ELD offers students: a chance for every student to have multiple

opportunities to practice language throughout the block

Upping the “miles on the tongue” Eliminating “broadcast questions”

cognitively demanding and authentic learning When kids leave, have they learned something new

and can they talk about it? tools that are transferable natural social and academic language

ExpectationsLearner: We don’t just do action plans, we use them to reflect and push

our thinking. Leader: Teacher leaders are able to visit classrooms to support co-

planning sessions Teacher leaders are co-planning with individuals/teams and

using/adapting structures learned at TL meetings. There is a clear outcome for teacher learning during co-planning.

Teacher leaders make time to meet with their Consultant each time the consultant is at their school.

Advocate: As we consider redesignation, we need to remember our role as

an advocate for these students.
